Soar into Australia’s wild skies with the 2025 Raptors – Black-breasted Buzzard - Birds of Prey Philatelic Medallion Cover, a cracking tribute to one of the country’s most impressive diurnal raptors. This limited-edition release, with only 1,500 individually numbered pieces, features the Black-breasted Buzzard (Hamirostra melanosternon), a master hunter with a commanding wingspan and razor-sharp talons. The silver-plated zinc alloy medallion showcases a vivid depiction of the Buzzard in flight, set against a bold circular design with an intense eye graphic, while the cover captures the bird perched on a branch or soaring against a striking blue backdrop.

Part of a series celebrating Australia’s 36 raptor species, this PMC highlights the Black-breasted Buzzard’s hunting prowess alongside fellow diurnal raptors like the Little Eagle and Grey Falcon. The medallion, measuring 36 x 33 mm, is paired with a matching stamp, postmarked and numbered, and presented in an envelope with a scenic cloud-filled sky. It’s a beaut for collectors or anyone who loves Australia’s fierce birds of prey, immortalising the Black-breasted Buzzard’s strength and elegance in a unique philatelic keepsake.
